Time Is Running Out - Register Now For TechEDGE

TechEDGE 2012

For the past 10 years our annual technology awards banquet has been the highlight of our year. This year we are expanding our awards night into TechEDGE 2012, a half-day regional technology conference (a first in our area!) and we want you to be a part.  
  • Come learn from and interact with over a dozen regional and statewide expert leaders in business, technology and education.  
  • Come be a part of the local technology community as we honor those of you who are leading the way with our annual technology awards.   
  • Come network with movers and shakers and others in the local technology and business community. 
Don't wait until the last minute.

This year's theme will be "Shaping the Future of Virginia's Region 2000" where we will explore the intersection of business leadership, education, innovation and how technology is shaping our community today and in the coming years. It will take place May 15 in downtown Lynchburg at the Holiday Inn from 1-8pm."
